This is Your Life - WORLD AIDS DAY SPECIAL - Celebrating the Icons Who Changed the Story of HIV Activism
WHEN - Friday 28 November 2025 - Doors
WHERE - The Cinema Museum, 2 Dugard Way, Renfrew Rd, London SE11 4TH
For the first time in nearly 20 years, the legendary British biographical TV series This Is Your Life is BACK — with a World AIDS Day twist.
Join ACT UP London heartthrobs and multi-award-winning actors and broadcasters Alix Fox and Alan Turkington and the infamous Big Red Book as we surprise two very special guests and take them on a rollercoaster through their life. Expect laughter, tears, and unforgettable stories told by the people who have fought, loved, and changed the world alongside them.
This one-off live special honours HIV activist pioneers whose lives of courage, love, and defiance have reshaped healthcare, challenged stigma, ignited sex-positivity, and inspired generations — from street protests to parliament.
After the show: stick around for fabulous food and a dancefloor takeover with surprise guest DJs.
Wear your most fabulous frocks, bring your biggest cheers, your loudest love and your most glamorous selves — this is not just a show, it’s a celebration of survival, joy, and unstoppable community power.
Hosted by AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) London & friends.
